Im Alive & Quinoa Mix

I am alive! It's been awhile, I know, but we knew this was going to happen. In a few short weeks life should be back to normal. Wedding Season 2011 has been busy, but so much fun! I'm kind of enjoying the craziness of life right now.

Outdoor weddings,

Friends I haven't seen in years,

Family I love,

and lots of dancing!

Add to that keeping up with these two adorable fur babies Sophie and Jake:

and the fact that I got an iPhone and can't stop playing with it:

AND trying to work full time night shift while traveling to other states on the weekend, and things have been less than boring around here!

We did manage to make something yummy to eat, (we actually cooked once in the past two weeks) and I wanted to share it here. My Mom made it for us in Ohio two weekends ago and said she got the recipe from my aunt, whom I was named after. I wasn't too terribly impressed with it when we ate it in Ohio, but strangely enough I found myself wanting it again once we got home. We have made it twice since then, because we had the ingredients and it's so fast and easy!

Cook the quinoa according to directions. Dice up avocado, artichokes, cukes, tomatoes and green onions. Sprinkle with a little cumin, salt, garlic salt, whatever else you desire. Stir in the mayo. Mix the quinoa in once it is done cooking.

I didn't really measure the spices, and we used veggies on hand. It is really yumm-o! Light yet healthy and filling, and refreshing! Hope you enjoy :)
